F.A.Q's

What is Amazon Warehouse Deals?
From Amazon: Get deep discounts on open-box, like-new, refurbished, or used products that are in good condition but do not meet Amazon.com's rigorous standards as "new".

Warehouse Deals is part of amazon that has open box, new but with damaged packaging product aka "dinger" and trade ins in generally like new condition. They are considered 3rd party by affiliation and as such the "Amazon Warehouse Deals" distinction but are still part of Amazon.

Is the Amazon Warehouse Deals return policy the same as Amazon's return policy?
Yes! All purchases are eligible for Amazon customer service and 30 day return policy.

I'm using the games sort by console link, and the games will not sort by price properly. What is wrong?
You aren't doing anything wrong, the sort by price feature on Amazon is broken during restocks and or when pricing algorithm goes haywire. During those times, prices don't adjust and assimilate with the current inventory quickly enough to show the sorting as such

I'm waiting for a ps4, xb1, 360, ps3, 3ds, or PS Vita to pop up.. What time do they usually appear?
They can show up any time, the best way to find it is have the item tabbed on your browser, and download an auto refresh app and frequently check it, and or set alerts... Sometimes they will not pop up on amazon warehouse deals storefront, you will need to check the "used" section of the item

Why did all the prices of games randomly jump up?
Games on warehouse deals generally go on a cycle. They will get extremely low, great deals.. Then they will jump back up and restart the cycle of falling in price again.

I have a gaming credit and/or an Amazon gift card. Can both of these be applied to Warehouse Deals orders?
Gift cards can be applied to orders made on warehouse deals, however video game credit is only good for items shipped and sold by "amazon.com", warehouse deals does not count as this.

What was Penny Deals?
In early September of 2011, tons of newer release, more expensive games popped up for 1 penny each. Many CAG members placed orders, expecting them to get cancelled. Some were cancelled, however many CAGS got a large amount of games for a penny each. There has been no confirmation what exactly happened and why these games were sold for a penny.

What states does Amazon charge sales tax?
Items sold by Amazon.com LLC, or its subsidiaries, and shipped to destinations in the following states are subject to tax:

Arizona
California
Connecticut

Florida
Georgia
Indiana
Kansas
Kentucky
Massachusetts
Nevada
New Jersey
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Pennsylvania
Tennessee
Texas
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin

Note: No sales tax is charged when purchasing gift cards; however, purchases paid for with gift cards may be subject to tax.

What do you mean by a "dinger"?
Dinger = Item is new but the packaging is damaged in some way or form.

These are speculative guesses at best going by descritption of any given item and also taking into account the length of time an item has been out since its release. Shorter the span of time from release of a game or console, better the chance of scoring a new item with damaged packaging aka "dinger".

What condition are products from Warehouse Deals generally in?
First and foremost all games from AWD are considered used unless specified as new. Usually, games are re-shrinked wrap and depending on condition they can be perfect / brand new, brand new with damaged packaging aka "dinger" to just a game in a generic case. AWD has 5 condition criteria for their listings and they are:

New: Just like it sounds. A brand-new, unused, unopened video game in perfect condition in its original packaging and with all original packaging materials included.

Like New: An apparently unopened video game in perfect condition (although it may be out of its original wrapping). The box and item are pristine, with no signs of wear. Suitable for presenting as a gift. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Very Good: A well-cared-for video game that has been played but remains in great condition. The game and its original packaging are complete and slightly worn, but unmarked and undamaged. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Good: The video game shows wear from consistent use, but remains in good condition. There may be clear external signs of wear and damage to the original packaging or instructions, but the game plays perfectly. The video game may have identification markings from its owner. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Acceptable: The video game is fairly worn, but it continues to work perfectly. The box and instructions may be missing or damaged. The video game may have identification markings from its owner. Sellers are required to note whether the box or instructions are missing in the condition notes field for the item. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Any game I have personally ever bought in good or above condition has been in near mint condition. Acceptable ones have been a gamble. Getting DLC with games has also been a gamble and since AWD games are considered used, don't expect unused DLC even though there will be occassions where they may come unused. In regards to DLC, ymmv. Conditon wise, some people have reported that games were scratched with stickers on the insert. Consoles are also usually reported in like new or new condition with box damage. Rarely, a console may be missing a key component such as a power brick. Games listed in "acceptable" condition likely have very beaten up cases, or are missing cases and inserts, and are in not so great condition, but generally have a working game disc. Consoles listed in "acceptable" conditon can be either new in damaged packaging and or a pure gamble in what conditon they will truly be in along with what is included in the box depending on the time frame from release of the console.

Here is an example of a like new handheld (PS Vita) - Thanks Slixshot

Slightly OT/Glada-ish

Anyone with a LN PS4 know if its covered under the Sony 1-year warranty? I got one last month and I'm thinking of trading it in for a new one, just in case it craps out and I'm stuck with a brick.

YMMV at best. People have been having success getting them replaced so far when they show up BLOD but Sony's general policy is to require a receipt showing that it was purchased new. Will they become stricter with that down the road? Who knows but it's up to you.

 
My $276 very good PS4 arrived today.  It came in an opened box that was taped closed. Everything was still wrapped in plastic, and looked untouched.  The controller even still had the plastic covers over the buttons.  I plugged it in and it booted up just fine.  After updating to V 1.70, I decided to test it out with ACIV (the only game I have bought so far).  I inserted the disc into the drive just as I would my PS3 slim, and it pulled in about half way then started making a clicking noise and stopped.  I ejected the disc, tried again, this time it wouldn't even try to take the disc.  I see why this one was returned.  It seems Amazon must do nothing more than boot it up before repackaging it and selling it as used.  Well, this one is going back.  So if anyone sees a "very good" PS4 up for sale in the next week or so, buyer beware.  I think you have to go with "like new" to get a working blu ray drive.

I commandeered a VG PS4 from the website for the low price of 236$ (with a 60$, I'm sorry it's late refund) and it has worked perfectly.  I feel like one of the lucky ones with how many BLOD posts I've seen lately.

I would suggest first trying to tightening/loosening the screw that controls the disk ejection. Turn the srcewdriver clockwise instead of counter.

 
Got my Acceptable Gold Wireless Headset today.

Opened up the box and everything looked perfect. Everything was included and even the packaging looked fine. Why would they have labeled this Acceptable?

Maybe because the headset won't actually work. I've tried everything I can think of, and I just cannot get this thing to connect. Tried it on PS3, PS4, and PC and still get nothing.

So, unless you guys have any ideas, I guess this will be my first AWD return.

Did you actually try to charge it before setting it up and did you receive the dongle for it?

The content from Emerald will most likely be in these games, just like the Crystal content in HGSS.

Ruby and Sapphire are day one buys for me. Now I'm just praying for Alpha Emerald. They can't release Ruby and Sapphire without eventually dropping Emerald too.

doubt it. they seem to like only doing the 2 original releases and skipping the more awesome 3rd >.>

and I wouldn't even care if they made more games like colosseum on the 3ds instead of a regular console.

Yeah. I got a VG PS4 from AWD. But it won't read blu-ray discs. Spoke to sony rep last night on chat. They said they will repair it since it's under warranty free of charge. Just got to wait a while. Turn around could be at least 7-10 business days.

I started to give this a try, but as I picked up the console I noticed something rattling inside. It sounded like a screw or two. I checked the manual disc eject screw following your link, and it was in place and tight. Thanks for the advice, but this thing is going back.
 
PS4 came in and just tested it. So far, so good.

Plugged it in and it accepted my disc normally. Installed BF and played it. When I went to put it off, it flashed white for a little and then went orange. I turned it on again and will let it run for some time.

Any other tests to run?

That. It was also hugely controversial when it came out and nearly didn't as well and I think Nintendo would probably say no thank you even MS was on board with it for some reason.

true on the Microsoft part but on the controversial part leisure suit larry was also a very controversial game and how many different games did he get developed? wish conkers was the same way lol

For consoles? 2. Both bombed. Making a game for a computer is a lot easier, self-publishing and whatnot, lower cost of entry, and no ESRB to deal with or approval from elsewhere needed.

yea I guess that true I think esrb ratings are stupid though cause each individual person should be able to decide what appropriate for them or not. But at least here it isn't as strick as Europe specifically Germany. When my sister was living over there a little bit she told me that games there can not show red blood at all, and some stores aren't even allowed to sell certain rated video games until after a certain time at night and I guess over there if you order a certain rated video game online for delivery who ever answers the door has to sign and show ID it not only the same person who ordered it but if the person is old enough. And if the person who ordered it isn't old enough after checking ID that the delivery person is required to refuse delivery to the person and return the game to the shipping company.

 
What kind of shape were they in? I bought a "good" 4s that should hopefully be unlocked. Worse can scenario, I can always return it I guess.

Well I ordered 7 ATT iPhones from AWD, 3 good and 4 like new. I think one of the goods had a few noticeable scratches on it but the rest any damage you had to look super close to see. One of the goods is the phone I kept and have been using for the past 8 months, works perfectly fine and had exactly two super fine scratches on it total.

Things could have changed but I know others had similar experiences at the time.

You as well? There was that other individual who was banned for trading in some Xbox adapters. I have never heard of being banned from a store. What did they tell you?

That they were notified by loss prevention that I'm not allowed to trade. Some stores won't let me return anything either.

Well a few months ago it was like $10 or $15 at BBY as the deal of the day. Hasn't been particularly cheap since. I wouldn't buy it regardless.
